The Sunkraken

I feel that the klei is on the cusp of expanding more into the caves, with a larger delve into them and their association with the shadows. I know that they have made a lot of strives to flesh it out, and they have, but I feel like there should be a little more. I find the largest disparage between the above ground and the caves is the lack of good bosses. With half of the cave bosses being rated some of the worst and half being rated as some of the best. I think that’s it’s a perfect opportunity for klei to introduce another good boss, or at least middle of road, that’s accessible for the mid game. It would have its own arena which is found through traveling through the giant sinkholes. Its arena is around 10x by 10 grid, but not a perfect square. This could incentivize more players to progress to find the atrium, if they don’t know how to find it. Like the name to suggest, it’s related/based on the Quacken from shipwrecked. This would be a nice nod to it as I feel that those dlcs should cross more into dst. It would look very similar in shape to the Quacken and has its iconic beak, but its purple, spotty, lacks side head fins, and is covered in eyes, with one in its center. In the center of the arena there would be one loan tentacle, that would bubble up and act like a normal tentacle, but die in one hit. Nothing would happened for a couple of seconds, and then a rumbling starts and the Subkraken would burst out and knock back any player above its spawn zone, it wouldn’t do any damage but look awesome as hell. The Subkraken would have a couple attacks and has 8000 health, it is also wet. First it would spit rocky ink blots at you that would deal 37.5 damage. It could spit them around itself in a 2 tile zone. It does it every 3 seconds so you could get a good amount of damage in in between shots. If you have enough speed boost then you can dodge them with with out leaving its aoe. Thinking mag+cane. Each ink blot it misses turns the tile it hits into a marsh tile. After enough damage is done, say 2k. It would close some eyes and start to grimace a bit to indicate next phase. The next attack it would do is a burrowing tentacle attacks, similar to the bright shade. It would send out 4 of them, each doing two smacks dealing 25 damage each. They would have a total of 500 health each. These count for towards the Subkraken’s health as well. After the last tentacle is killed, it starts its second phase indicated by more eyes closed and it getting even angrier at you. The next phase is a combination of the first and second with slower projectiles so dodging is easier. After killing the other four tentacles that spawned, the fourth and final phase begins. It would be raging at this point with only one eye open. Its last phase would have two walls of tentacles that would spin around it. Dealing low but dangerous damage. Getting hit would knock you forward but makes you vulnerable to being combo hit. Once killed it drops a bunch of tentacle spots, its eye, and its beak. The eye can be used as a substitute for deerclops’s. The beak can be crafted into a special hammer, that’s has a lot of durability and is called the cracken.

Cool idea. I like the concept of it being where all the tentacles in the constant come from. One big creature.

You mean hammer?

Oh yes, thank you. It has been corrected

I think it would also be cool if it was able to spawn mini tentacles as an attack, as well as the normal ones temporarly.

What do you think of the normal tentacles temporally popping out of the marsh turf that the projectiles spawn.

That sounds bad ass
